Slam

I love watching non-Holywood movies, especially when they come from Asia, because they have a special impression on me. This cute little movie was a pleasant surprise and, both my kids and I, loved it! When it comes to family movies I watch them only because of my kids, because I am a fan of different genres, but Slam was a good time waster. The action in the movie is great, young actors were OK, some of them were more convincing than the others, and the story was nice. I would recommend it to the audiences of all ages.

A nice Asian movie that is a great piece of work done by Mr. Jonathan Lim, who is known to me by his movie Pali Road, which I also loved. In some segments it resembles to Holywood kind of movies, but in a GOOD way! The story is easy to understand, most of the characters are likeable and the story develops nicely. The young actors did an outstanding job in portraying their roles and I would definitely recommend Slam to anyone wanting to watch a quality sport-family movie.

I got bored by Hollywood production, because their movies started too look all the same, so I often watch foreign movies. I have learned to love both European and Asian cinema because they offer something new, instead of superhero movies and shallow comedies which are lately coming from Holywood. Slam is a hidden gem, nicely paced, with a simple yet interesting story, beliveable acting, I enjoyed watching it with my friends.

If you are into sports and family movies, you don't want to miss this one. It will probably be more appealing to younger audiences, but I also liked it and I am 35. The story is not new, a battle between complete underdogs and the ones that are suppose to beat them easily. I won't reveal much of the story, but I found the movie both motivational and inspirational. I liked the characters, the action and the ending was great too. I would gladly recommend this cute little movie to anyone!

Seriously, this movie uses so many clichés from sports films like there's no tomorrow. The storyline is wholly impossible given that the three kids have minimal basketball skills and are completely overwhelmed by the other teams in the 3-3 tournament.

The team sucks so bad and then starts to get game right as the tournament picks up? I also have no idea why the Chinese American boy was put into the story -- he added little or nothing to the movie.

The viewer never gets to see who the main character really is and why he has a strained relationship with his father.

What a waste of about 93 minutes. I certainly do not recommend this movie to anyone.
